[Multiple condylomata of the urethra and bladder disclosing HIV infection]

Abstract

The authors report the case of a 26 year old man, in whom recurrent hematuria revealed the diagnosis of urethral condylomata with bladder extension, and HIV serology positive. This case reminds us that it is essential to search for immunodeficiency in every case of extensive or recurrent condylomata. The analysis of such cases in the literature allows discussion of the various clinical courses according to the Human Papilloma Virus types found in condylomatous tissues.
